No, Really
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
You had a growth in your right ear
2
And I had a murmuring heart
3
And all our healthy companions got a free ticket out
4
While the country they left fell apart
5
Now the only way over the ocean
6
Is in the belly of a camouflaged plane
7
And freedom is offered to the ones who enlist
8
Until only the prisoners remain
9
And we wouldn't be able to leave
10
Even if our passports hadn't expired
11
So we sit in our bedrooms and talk on our tapped phones
12
And know our apartment is wired
13
And the TV distracts us with light shows
14
Telling us everything's going as planned
15
But there's something awry out the corner of our eye
16
We can no longer comprehend
17
There's a chain from your hand to mine
18
And I can't let go of it, I can't let go of it
19
We were saved from the front lines
20
Got nothing to show for it, nothing to show for it
21
So we watch the receding horizon
22
'Til we develop a thousand yard stare
23
And with our old tape recorders we pretend to cross borders
24
And dream that we're breathing free air
25
But we can only imagine that landscape
26
Gaze at pictures now faded with age
27
The greatest country on earth was our prison since birth
28
Its shores an invulnerable cage
29
There's a chain from your hand to mine
30
And I can't let go of it, I can't let go of it
31
We were saved from the front lines
32
Got nothing to show for it, nothing to show for it
33
Burn it down, burn it down
34
There's nothing here I wanna save
35
Leave this town, leave this town
36
Before you're just another slave
37
Turn around, turn around
38
They're already digging our graves
39
In the ground, in the ground
40
We're too close now to turn away
41
There's a chain from your hand to mine
42
And I can't let go of it, I can't let go of it
43
We were saved from the front lines
44
Got nothing to show for it, nothing to show for it
